The talk will cover the past, present and future of Cisco IOS hacking, defense and forensics. Starting from the historic attacks that still work on less well managed parts of the Internet, the powerful common bugs, the classes of binary vulnerabilities and how to exploit them down to the latest methods and techniques, this session will try to give everything in one bag.To each attack type, we will also see what defensive measures are taken, what should be done and how Cisco forensics people will identify the attack and nail the attacker (or not).
